Pageant officials in Texas are trying to strip Miss San Antonio, 17-year-old Domonique Ramirez, of her crown.

According to Ramirez, one of the main reasons for her firing is that pageant officials accused her of gaining weight.

In a recent interview on NBC's Today show, Ramirez says Miss San Antonio pageant board president Linda Woods told her lose 13 pounds and said, "get off the tacos, get off the chips, you've got to lose this weight to get ready for Miss Texas."

"If I lost 13 pounds, I'd be anorexic," said Ramirez, who is five-foot-eight, 129 pounds, and says she wears a size 2. "No one should ever have to be treated this way."

Woods admits that pageant officials talked to Ramirez about her weight, but says that was not the main issue. Woods said Ramirez is being fired for showing up late or skipping promotional events and violating pageant rules by bringing her boyfriend to events.

“The violations just continue to persist, without any remorse or accountability,” Woods told the CBS station in San Antonio.

In an interview with ABC News, Ramirez's attorney Luis Vera countered, "The contract says she will be chaperoned and driven to every appearance and that her parents are not allowed to attend. Then they would call her and say she needs to get to events on her own. At the time she just turned 16, how is she supposed to get there without her parents?"

Ramirez has filed a lawsuit against the Miss Bexar County Organization, and a judge has prohibited pageant officials from giving her crown to runner-up Ashley Dixon until the case is settled. A court hearing is scheduled for Wednesday.
